OK, I'll bite. Does it say where the infraction occurred? i.e. Is it where the ball decided to hit the ground outside the field of play or from where the throw was taken? (I think I know the answer. I just want to know if it's spelled out in their rediculously long and outrageously un-free rule book.)

Sorry, I just couldn't resist giving you a hard time about your spelling before getting to your question. 
No, the rules book doesn't explicitly state from where the new throw-in shall be awarded. I have always gone with the original throw-in spot. Even the play ruling that the NFHS includes doesn't make this point clear.
15.1.4 SITUATION: A throw-in by Player A2 (a) hits the touchline and bounces into the field of play; or (b) hits or breaks the plane of the touchline and goes out of the field of play; or (c) lands outside the touchline and bounces into the field of play; or (d) does not hit or break the plane of the touchline but remains outside. RULING: In (a) a legal throw; play continues; in (b) legal; award throw-in to Team B; in (c) and (d) illegal; award throw-in to Team B.
In (b) I'm awarding the throw-in from the spot where the ball exited the field since the throw-in was legal, but in (c) and (d) I'm giving Team B the throw-in from up at the spot of the illegal throw-in.

That is correct, because the infraction was the throw not the landing and the landing was in a non-existent place.
Do you all know there is also a NFHS forum, divided by sports?
